In Joomla, for any template that we use, we have a number of specified positions ( left, right, footer) .. Is it possible to include new position in the template which suits our choice ...

Yes, it is. You need to add a div element in the place you need and insert joomla tag 

<jdoc:include type="modules" name="yuor_position_name" style="xhtml" />

in it. Than you need to add this position to your templateDetails.xml Edit this file and add to the <positions> section one more thread like this:

<position>your_position_name</position>

and save the file. From now you will see this position in modules setup. Good tutorial about Joomla 1.5 templates you can read here:

  • @elisium: I see you've made a typo in the jdoc name="yuor_..., should be jdoc name="your_... – Schalk Versteeg Jan 12 '10 at 09:27
